Crisis Committees

Crisis Committees are fast-paced committees that require delegates to think on their feet, problem-solve, and strategize in order to achieve the goals of their character.

Crisis Committees

Joint Crisis Committee: Chaos, Khans, and Shahs: Postwar Iran

It is the spring of 1920. The First World War has ended, but Iran remains fractured. The central government is unstable, foreign troops occupy major cities, and tribal and revolutionary groups control large parts of the countryside. Delegates will take on the roles of politicians, military leaders, activists, and tribal figures as they respond to outside pressure, internal divisions, and competing visions for Iran’s future.

The Last Bastion: The Fall of Constantinople

Byzantine rule in Constantinople is nearing an end, and the Ottomans are preparing to take control of the city. Delegates will represent generals, advisors, engineers, and reluctant vassals to make strategic decisions in the final days of the siege and navigate uncertain loyalties and conflicting incentives.

Ad Hoc Committee of the Secretary-General

Ad Hoc is a fast-paced committee meant for advanced delegates. The topic will be announced during the first committee session but stay tuned for clues leading up the conference. Only delegates with crisis experience should select this committee.
